Virginia Traffic Ticket Defense Lawyer

Why a Traffic Ticket Costs You More Than Meets the Eye 


Just a short time ago, you were pulled over and received a moving violation. The problem: the officer said that you did not come to a complete stop at a stop sign. You were frustrated because there were no other cars in sight, you looked both ways and you thought you came to a stop. You considered the officer to be nit picky, but you took the ticket and were cordial. Now you can pay the ticket and move on, right? Wrong! What the officer, prosecuting attorney, and judge will fail to tell you is that plea bargaining is the rule of thumb to resolve these matters.  The justice system won't tell you this because everyone may want to plea bargain their ticket and the court will always be in session.  Fairfax County, VA alone has over 200,000 summonses pass through the courthouse every year.  Can you imagine what would happen if no one prepaid their ticket and hired an attorney? 


But if you feel you received an unfair traffic ticket consider hiring a defense attorney. A traffic ticket is more than a one-time expense. If you are convicted of a moving violation, your insurance rates may go through the roof. Every insurance company has a point system. Depending on the number of points you have, your premiums may double for two to three years!


What about your driver's license?  Is this your first ticket in the last five or more years or a second or third?  The Virginia DMV has a probationary system based on how many demerit points you receive on your Driving Record within a certain amount of time.  Ultimately, your driver’s license may be suspended. 


If you are a commercial driver, you especially want to protect your driving record. In this case, a traffic ticket may cost more than money – it may cost you your job!
